Thank you for sharing a source on how earthworms are invasive (I'd heard the claim, but not a source). I remember a Park ranger talking about flowers in Minnesota which didn't grow as well because of earthworms and were thus Endangered. I wonder how these flowers would do if Plastics were added to their soil. I can't recall the name of the flower, but that the reason they couldn't flourish was that Earthworms were eating the nutrients they needed to grow. I found two sources https://kstp.com/news/u-of-m-researchers-find-earthworms-are-threatening-minnesota-state-flower-lady-slipper-/5431231/ https://kstp.com/news/u-of-m-researchers-find-earthworms-are... And https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/09/000904130558.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/09/000904130558.h... I don't believe this is the same flower (I feel like I'd remember the state flower). So the impact of earthworms is interesting, as I'd never heard of a way (or suggestion to) treat and remove earthworms from an ecosystem.
